Snooker loopy, nuts are we,
Me and him and them and me,
We'll show you what we can do,
With a load of balls and a snooker cue.
Pot the reds, then screw back,
For the yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black
Snooker loopy, nuts are we,
We're all snooker loopy.

I have been watching the Grand Prix from Preston... :) I am a snooker fan!! My favourite is Ken Doherty... (Who was defeated this week by James Wattana... )

It's great to have snooker on TV again!! :bounce: Now, I have to stop 'jinxing' my favourites - I don't know if my support is helping... :saaaaad: ;)

John Higgins potting a 147 but losing his first round match lol

Jimmy :sad:

Im a big snooker fan. Ronnie is da man!

Damn it, Hendry is out!

Steve Davis is out :( beaten by Paul Hunter

Davis was already awful in his opening match. He got two flukes on the black in one frame! :eek:

Still too bad for Steve :sad:

Still too bad for Steve :sad:
He fluked out of a snooker in the following frame. :lol:
He did win though, and is in the top 16, but he is too old now :sad:

Go McCulloch :banana:

I'm a snooker fan!

No one can touch Ronnie "The Rocket" 'O Sullivan right now. :worship:

I think Paul Hunter is an awesome player, I hope he can win the world championships!

I'm a snooker fan!

No one can touch Ronnie "The Rocket" 'O Sullivan right now. :worship:I'd have to agree, though he doesn't like the nickname 'The Rocket!', I can't remember why not though... :o

The most impressive thing about Ronnie has to be how good he is with his left hand, I can play left handed, but I have to concentrate 110% and take my time just to play a normal shot!

Ronnie leading 5-2 after the first session of the final. Final session of the final tonight at 8pm BST

He's just unbeatable at the moment. Does anyone actually give McCoulough a chance against the rocket?

Ronnie Wins The GP!

He is the best :worship:

He is the best :worship:
That is very true!

He's awesome. One of the best sportsman in the world, IMO.

Anyone watching the British Open on Eurosport? :bounce:

Chas 'n Dave :worship::lol: I remember that song as a boy!

Unfortunately for me, my parents loved snooker and would watch it incessantly. Poor me :sad:

They loved that dracula guy - Ray Reardon :confused: and Hurricane Higgins. I guess it's a very tactical game but such a :yawn:

:lol: i was beginning to think i was the only one who remembered it! :o many a time has that come in useful for a snooker related question at a pub quiz! :lol:

Anyone watching the British Open on Eurosport? :bounce:Take that as a no

Maguire thrashes O'Sullivan 6-1 :eek:

Take that as a noYes, I am watching on ES. Now it's tennis. Yeah, O'Sullivan can't win every match, needs a great comeback.

Maguire def. O'Sullivan AGAIN :bolt: (9-6 at the UK Championship)

O'Sullivan looks so much better with short hair

Played Snooker last night :banana: Lost both frames! :banana:

congratulations.

I like Ronnie's hair at the World's, but short is ok too.

Big Boss, if you ever played me at snooker you would win in record (RECORD) time... ;)

Ronnie has short hair? I have a feeling I have seen this but I can't picture it... Aaargh...

I'm looking forward to the next tournament... (Here's a cheer for my favourite player Ken Doherty - Gooooooooo!! ;) )

Bring on Ronnie O'Sullivan. He's sexy as hell!

I've just come back from Christmas shopping and I saw a DVD with Ronnie on the front :) - I didn't really 'stare' at it :o (I can spend money like a World Champion ;) ) but it looked nice. :)

Switzerland Social Club ;) (or Wales Social Club if you prefer? ;) ) - see you there... ;) (We will not be there for very long... The shortest snooker match EVER? Whaaaaa... ;) )

I thought the thread's title is "Smoker" :haha:

:bolt:

Even if I played as both players, it would take me ages :p
Wales would be better seeing as I live in Norwich ;)

(I am the person with the worst co-ordination ever... You will beat beat BEAT me!! It will be the shortest match in history!! I tell you... *siiiigh* ;) )

(Right, that Ronnie O'Sullivan DVD... I'm gonna need some - a LOT *gulp* - of help here... Ronnieeeeeee!! ;) )

(I would like to go to Norwich one day - it looks like a nice city. :) Hmmm... Maybeeee... Norwich or Wales... Or The Crucible? Aaaah... *dreams* ;) )

Felix - smoker? *staring at the thread title* I can see how you thought that... ;)

Norwich is very nice ;)

And I won't be the shortest match! Ronnie did a 147 in 5mins 20. I can't even pot 5 balls in that time :o
